ΔΚΕ'RDelta'Kappa'EpsilonR!
Delta Kappa Epsilon was founded at Yale University on June 22, 1844, by fifteen members of the class of 1846, in protest against what they saw as the injustices and limitations of the prevailing societal system. The founders of ΔKE believed that 'the candidate most favored was he who combined in the most equal proportions the gentleman, scholar, and the jolly good fellow' - criteria which have remained unchanged to this day.!!Five U.S. Presidents have been Dekes, the most of any fraternity. The first man to reach the North Pole was a Deke, and a Deke has carried the Delta Kappa Epsilon flag to the moon. In every corner of the world you will meet fellow Dekes, but whatever their background or station is in life, we are united by the shared experience of membership in DKE.!!Delta Kappa Epsilon Sigma Rho Chapter was founded at Stanford University on December 12, 1901. As one of Stanford's oldest fraternities, we honor our traditions. We define ourselves and our brotherhood, not by the accomplishments on our resumes but by the strength of our bonds, the diversity of ourselves and passions, and our embrace of new ideas. We want "gentlemen, scholars, and jolly good fellows."!!Join Delta Kappa Epsilon if you want to get more out of college. With ΔKE, don't expect to be overlooked. As an unhoused fraternity, we aren't bound by walls or social restrictions. We believe everyone is entitled to their own fun and their own ambitions. You can be yourself, live where you want, and still be a part of the brotherhood.!!Our campus parties are epic. We bring in mechanical bulls, make artificial walls, and pull out all the stops. If you've heard of Dekes of Hazzard, DKEcember, and Berlin Wall, you know part of the story. !Our alumni network is vast. While at Stanford, you will attend tailgates, dinners, and whatever else we can talk our way into. Beyond local events, alumni from Stanford and other ΔKE chapters offer unique opportunities to active members and recent graduates. We stay in close contact with our alumni, forming friendships and connections that stay with us for a lifetime.

As you journey through this important and exciting time in your life, we encourage you to take the time to get to know what each fraternity on campus has to offer.
That being said, we firmly believe you will find that Delta Tau Delta can offer you an incredible experience unlike any other. One of the great benefits of ∆T∆ is its size. Our focus lies in creating the best possible experience for our brothers, and our relatively small size allows us to put our efforts into smaller events such as mixers with sororities, rafting trips, ski trips, and road trips to away football games. As a smaller group, we are able to form closer bonds with our brothers and host smaller events for our own guests and ourselves rather than have many large all campus parties, although we do have a few annual all-campus events as well.
Our brothers are accomplished athletes, entrepreneurs, musicians, and community service leaders. Our membership reflects the wide variety of talent on Stanford’s campus and these diverse strengths bring us together as leaders, making it easy to support each other in our individual pursuits. The Stanford Delts have had a history of excellence. Two of our alums from last year are playing in the NFL. Have you heard of John Arrillaga, Jim Plunkett, or John Elway? Yeah, they were all Delts.
As one of the longest standing institutions on campus with over 110 years of history, the Stanford Delts have an impressive alumni network. Ask your parents or their friends and you will quickly find out what ∆T∆ was known for back in the day. Delta Tau Delta continues to be an impressive fraternity that produces impressive alumni, not just another house on campus that hosts cool parties. Along with the strength of our own alumni network, the network we have created at national and division conferences makes traveling around the country a breeze.
In addition to throwing awesome mixers and parties, taking trips with brothers, and forming close bonds with the entire Delta Tau Delta family, as Delts we also serve our community. Members of our fraternity volunteer at the local children’s hospital and help out at an elementary school in East Palo Alto. We also often partner with sororities to help promote and organize community events that help raise awareness and funds.
At Delta Tau Delta, we are looking for leaders who want to contribute to the success of our fraternity and continue our tradition of excellence both on campus and after graduation. In return, you will find lifelong friendships with a tight knit group of brothers who will help you grow and develop as a person and a great set of memories to look back on long after you leave Stanford. While we may not have a house to offer, the University hooks you up with that, and you still get to live with girls. However, what the University cannot offer is the opportunity to make incredible memories with a great group of friends who support each other throughout the best and even the worst of times, and have a ton of fun along the way.

ΚΑ'RKappa'AlphaR'
Surely, many of you know KA. Whether you’ve come for a party, or just taken advantage of our open doors and inviting attitudes, KA is undeniably one of the best places on campus to chill at night, or during the day. We’re a solid group of guys who love having fun and making the most of our time in college. We also pride ourselves on how we spend our days and hosting fun events. Our annual rafting trip on the American river and playing broomball in Redwood City with the best group of guys and gals on campus are just a few of the notable special events. You’ll hardly ever find a day without a group of KA guys gathering to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the Stanford world to just sit back and enjoy life. You’ll find us hanging out outside, playing games in the kitchen, playing some tunes in the lounge, getting rowdy for sports games, grubbing on some delicious meals from our chef, and especially going out together at night for some good times. We really do a lot together because every guy here may be the coolest guy we’ve ever met. What could be better than spending beautiful Stanford days lakeside with your best friends?
KA offers the fun of Greek life without any of the typical fraternity shenanigans. There is no system of seniority at KA. Pledges are treated no differently than actives, and everyone is friendly. No rollouts, elephant walks, bodily harm, or other ridiculous hazing of any kind. This is not a trap, that’s just not our style. As a pledge, you can even pick your own roommate for a luxurious two-room double next year.
KA is likely one of the more multi-faceted groups on campus. We have members from all walks o’ life. We’ve got athletic guys, we’ve got really funny dudes, and we’ve got geniuses. No discrimination here. All in all we take pride in our reputation for being respectful, stand up guys.
Another important aspect of KA is our increased dedication to serving the community and the school. We value our role as leaders in the Greek community. Every year we host the KA Kickball Classic, a charity mustache competition, KAnned Food Drive, and other fun activities to raise funds for a great causes.
Academically, KA guys do just fine. We are smart and dedicated people just like you and we respect and encourage everyone’s academic priorities.
In all seriousness, if you’re a cool guy who loves to have a good time with other cool guys and do the kinds of things that cool guys typically do together, then come check out our rush events and be part of the wonderful community KA offers for a lifetime.!

KΣ -Kappa Sigma-
We’re back…Remember when you first learned to use the potty? Well forget it. Because at Kappa Sigma we piss excellence, and, together, we’re gonna be pissing all over ourselves. Why should you join Kappa Sigma? Is an omelette with bacon, avocado, cheese, veggies, and a side of French toast enough? How about a custom-made omelette every morning for the rest of your goddamn life? That’s right, our chef is cooking up made to order breakfast every morning. What’s better than custom breakfast? How about dinners with enough meat to satisfy a herd of tigers. What’s that? Tigers don’t come in herds? Well you must not be familiar with our resident tiger herder, Kevin Cardey. He’s the varsity freak show on the right. Our chef, Juan Carlos, whips up food that makes grandmothers retire their oven mitts and vegans beg for the mercy of the sun god. But our house is about more than just the best food on campus (suck it Ike’s), so strap on your tap shoes for a dance through the wonders of Kappa Sigma Beta Zeta. The Beta Zeta chapter of Kappa Sigma was founded in 1899 on a foundation of five simple principles. All five principles are “excellence.” We expect excellence from our members in all aspects of their lives. Excellence in their academics, personal behavior, extracurriculars, community service, sleep habits, hygiene, dancing ability, etiquette, and reading comprehension. Our house has a tremendous legacy at this school not only of producing great men, but also fighting for diversity and reform. We have a large and active alumni base, and each member has an alumni mentor with whom they share a personal, and potentially professional, relationship. Kappa Sigma is about making connections. We have athletes and artists, engineers and economists and everything in between, all of whom share the bond of brotherhood and a common love for our house. We work hard, party hard, and the ladies? They like us just fine. So if you’re down to spend the next three years rolling around the PAC-12 in a Winnebago, spending spring days at the beach and winter ones on the slopes, tag teaming problem sets and tag teaming – well – just problem sets, all with a group of young men who, in a few years, will be tearing up the worlds of law, medicine, art, and finance, then come check us out. Perhaps you’ll meet some guys you can see yourself living with, perhaps not. Either way there will be fun, free food, and vigorous man-flirting. See you in the spring.

ΦKΨ - PHI KAPPA PSI -
Live Ever. Die Never. Phi Kappa Psi. Three phrases that embody a spirit of brotherhood and excellence rivaled by no other student group on campus. Not quite sure what you’re going to get out of a fraternity? Not even sure that you want to join one? Many of our brothers had similar questions before recruitment, but you’ll be hard-pressed to find one that regrets his choice. What does it mean to be a Phi Psi? We are, above all, a diverse collection of gentlemen. We hail from all walks of life, and no one label can truly capture the essence of what it means to be a Phi Psi. Our brothers are passionate and involved in a variety of activities and leadership positions: our house boasts a variety of club athletes, student activists, DJs, members of Solar Car, and musicians to name a few, and many of our brothers are in staff positions all around campus. Through all of this diversity, though, Phi Psis share a bond summed up in the simple word “Brotherhood.” Stated plainly, we’re a group of guys from around the world who have found in Phi Psi a rich source of experience, stories we’ll be telling for the rest of our lives, and a dynamic group of men we’re proud to call brothers. Living in Phi Psi is truly an experience like none other. How could living in a row house with 35 of your best friends be anything else? Since we’ve moved into 592 Mayfield eight years ago, we have left and continue to leave our mark on campus in exciting and unique ways. Our dedication to serving Stanford and the community is unparalleled on campus: brothers routinely get involved in programs such as the Boys and Girls Club, Habitat for Humanity, and Challah for Hunger, and our annual charity event raises thousands of dollars for the Ecumenical Hunger Program. Our devotion to excellence also manifests itself through our academics and ambitions. Although our academic interests are diverse, Phi Psis go to class together, study together, and are always willing to help another brother out. Many brothers report their grades improving after joining. In addition, we boast an incredibly successful alumni network. Brothers have gone on to pursue prestigious careers in academics, medicine, public service, and finance, and have founded some of the hottest start-ups in the Valley including Yahoo and Palantir. What’s more is that our alums are incredibly devoted (one of our favorite sayings is that Phi Psi is for life). We host many events with them such as Homecoming and Founder’s Day that routinely attract alumni from all around the States, and many brothers have secured jobs and internships through these connections. But although we’re ambitious gentlemen and driven people, we definitely enjoy having a good time. Our parties are routinely among the largest on campus, and although we typically consolidate our all-campus parties to one or two a quarter, our setup is unparalleled. Where else on campus are you going to see not only neon signs, black lights, lasers, but a light-up dance floor that we built ourselves? (and by the way, it turns into a light-up bar). We also enjoy hosting many smaller closed events throughout the year such as tailgates, progressives with our friends, and events with our gorgeous sister sororities. So if any of this interests you, feel free to stop by the House for one of our rush events or for dinner sometime. I invite you to come see what Phi Psi is all about.

ΣΑΕ'RSigma'Alpha'EpsilonR'
In many ways SAE is one of the most diverse student groups on campus. Hailing from cities all over the US, Europe, Africa, and Latin America, our brothers’ backgrounds are truly very different. However, upon closer inspection the similarities between our brothers are more significant than the differences. United in a vision of lasting friendship, scholarship, and an active social life, SAE has become one of the tightest knit group of brothers on Campus. SAE offers its members the opportunity to be part of something bigger and even more enriching.
The first thing that comes to mind when thinking about SAE is definitely the packed social calendar. From the first day of classes, SAE kicks off the quarter with a bang at our very popular “Back to School Party,” and keeps up the pace with at least two more all-campus parties per quarter. Weekly bar nights, sorority mixers, ski trips with sororities, and quarterly formals in San Francisco ensure that there is always something fun going on. Events such as 80’s Party and Roman Bath–the only Toga Party on Campus–have become yearly traditions attended by students across campus.
Aside from social events, SAE is also passionate about sports. Many members of our house come from either Varsity or Club sports teams, and the majority of our members are former athletes and enthusiastic fans. Brothers never have a problem starting a pick-up game out on our basketball court or getting in a quality game of “ping”-pong. Also, after joining SAE, you will certainly have a place to stay on just about any college campus in the nation. After all, SAE is the country’s largest fraternity. If you are just relaxing on a given afternoon, you can expect to walk into our stadium- seated common room and enjoy some time watching TV or playing XBOX with the friends.
SAE also never forgets that it is part of the larger Stanford and surrounding communities, and gives back through service events. In addition to more traditional community service ideas like gathering canned food, rebuilding schools in East Palo Alto, and hosting blood drives, we try to reach out in more innovative and fun ways.
SAE – like everyone at Stanford – cares a lot about academics. The academic support, along with our incredible alumni network, ensure that brothers have great opportunities after college as well. Recent graduates have secured jobs with J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, McKinsey & Co., Morgan Stanley, Teach for America, and professional sports teams. As an SAE, expect to get to know our alumni early and often when they treat us to dinners and drinks at The Dutch Goose or Sundance Steakhouse. You might notice the Stanford’s Soccer Stadium is named after our current Alumni Advisor, Laird Cagan. Speaking of dinners, you owe it to yourself to stop by, meet our new chef Herb, and try one of his delicious meals. SAE is more than just a place to live. As rush approaches, we encourage you to stop by and form your own opinions about us, as well as the other fraternities on campus. Not so long ago, we were all freshmen facing the same decisions that you are about to make, and you would be hard pressed to find an SAE who regrets his choice. !

Sigma Phi Epsilon
At the crux of every fraternity experience should lay some fundamental gains: a brotherhood of vibrant individuals,
constant striving to become better human beings, and memories to last a lifetime. Over a hundred years, Sigma Phi
Epsilon (SigEp) has diligently sought the best way to make these available to our brothers. As the largest national
fraternity, with over 300,000 members, and the first to have a chapter in all 50 states, SigEp has consistently
delivered on its promise to build the Balanced Man.
SigEp is not simply about finding a group of friends- we bring together like-minded individuals who appreciate
success in personal endeavor and duty to fellow man, and are serious about challenging themselves in every aspect of
personal growth. We have a membership development program designed to pool together our diverse expertise, and
as a community help one another achieve our personal goals. From physical challenges to educational experiences,
wine-tasting to throwing the most creative all-campus parties, and organizing soccer tournaments to benefit Haiti to
socializing with campus sororities, SigEp promises many new ways to engage and learn every week.
Every SigEp realizes that college is a time to experience things we would have otherwise never tried. As a fraternity,
we try and enjoy our brothers’ company in as many diverse activities as possible. We go to gun ranges, attend
concerts, excel at intramural sports, serenade sororities, host speakers, allow members to showcase their passions and
skills, attend national conferences, and much, much more.
Sigma Phi Epsilon has also completely revolutionized the pledge process. Every new member is automatically
entered into a Sigma program with the rest of his class, designed to introduce them to the SigEp experience. We
asked ourselves, if indeed we want to build balanced men, and foster life-long friendships, how exactly should we
initiate our new brothers? The result is a process of intellectual, physical, and spiritual growth that every SigEp
remembers as his favorite time in fraternity, if not college itself!
As a national fraternity, Sigma Phi Epsilon ensures that every chapter is doing its best to provide brothers with a fun,
educational, and fraternal experience. Our brothers at Stanford have started their own companies and non-profits,
gone on to be successful on Wall Street and Capitol Hill alike, are leaders of major campus organizations, and are
national varsity athletics champions. Nationally, SigEp alumni have been successful in every way imaginable, from
being CEOs of Fortune 100 companies to NFL quarterbacks, astronauts (The SigEp flag was aboard NASA’s last
manned exploratory shuttle) to cultural figureheads such as Dr. Seuss!
So come join us at rush. See for yourself how we strive to help our brothers excel, and provide them with a variety of
experiences. Get to know us, learn why we love SigEp, and why all of our brothers unanimously agree that joining
SigEp was their best decision at Stanford.
